Cears Cemetery
Adair, Adair County, Iowa

To reach this cemetery drive south from Adair, Iowa, on County
Highway N54 (Delta Avenue). Continue south some miles and take a
left (go east) on 235th Street. Turn left (north) at Dover Avenue.
The cemetery is visible from the road on the west side of the road.

Cears Cemetery is located in between two farm fields a little
ways away from the road. You will need to walk a short way along
a fence line to reach the cemetery, any time I've ever been there,
the path is pretty well kept and access is not difficult, although
you may want to avoid walking up to the cemetery on muddy days,
and it could be a rough path for people with walking problems
or who use a wheelchair.

History of the cemetery is unknown for certain, although I believe
this began as a cemetery for the Cears family, and some neighbors
and friends were also allowed to be buried there. The cemetery
is tidy and well-kept, and someone has made an effort at repairing
some of the broken stones. Ownership is unknown.

I transcribed this cemetery from tombstone transcriptions in
Spring 2008. All known burials are listed, including unreadable
and partially readable stones.
